Epson Australia’s theme for this year’s Visual Impact show in Sydney will be “Say Yes to Success,” as the company showcases its range of latest print technologies with an increased focus on sustainability.
Epson SureColor S80660L
“At this year’s show Epson’s theme is, “Say Yes to Success” as the company demonstrates that the more solutions you offer your clients, the more work you can take on. Epson will also be showing companies how they can reduce their equipment footprint in smaller spaces and exhibiting the breadth and flexibility of their waste-reducing print products and solutions,” Epson said.
Epson Australia MD, Craig Heckenberg: “Due to the impact of Covid-19, businesses have opted to bring more print back to Australia. As a result, and to help businesses embrace this change, we have further expanded our print range to provide a solution for any requirement.
“Epson is also striving to further reduce wastage and water requirements. For example, we are placing more emphasis on inherently more efficient digital print processes for natural and synthetic fibres alike. You will see a range of these products and solutions on show and demonstrated at Visual Impact 2023 in Sydney.”
Joining the Epson team at the show this year will be Shuhei Sato – Epson Australia’s new Product Manager specialising in professional print solutions. Shuhei previously worked at Epson HQ in Japan and comes with a wealth of knowledge regarding global trends within the large format printing space.
